HL launcher borked after Oct 3rd update Created 18 years ago2005-10-11 14:19:29 UTC by rowleybob

Has this happened to you? This started happening for me after the Oct. 3rd Update.

Everytime I try to load Half-Life, it just freezes on that screen where Gordon is holding the poorly construchted shotgun, with no menu items. Also when this happens i cannot:

Alt-Tab
Ctrl-Esc
nor Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Steam/Halflife gets the award for the first program to crash my XP SP2!

I've searched around on Steampowered.com, and google, with no help yet...

Thanks Muzzie, that did it, 'cause it's working now!

It was weird, the splash screen was just stuck there, but I could still click on stuff underneath it like windows key+L to lock it down, and then hover my mouse to the lower left to shutdown, but that was about all I could do!
